Grand Designs

Stu fancies he's going to build himself a house. So on Friday we went to Grand Designs Live in London town. Due to a slight navigational error on my part we missed Kevin's lecture and couldn't be arsed to go see the Beeny but we did find lots of inspiration for the magical house. We did both agree there was much more crap than good stuff. The one thing we did want to buy was this guy...



We felt he wanted to come and live on the balc with the flowers. And he seemed to take quite a shine to Stu...



But he wasn't for sale :-(

Weirdly there was a lot of oversized stuff, including a huge chair for children to play on, and this on a stand for boiling water taps....



They also had an actual Huf Haus and a Pad house built outside the exhibition centre...

And so now we wants a Pad house. And a white cow to live outside it. And the biggest coffee you ever did see in the kitchen.

that coffee thing looks normal size to me because i can't tell how big the tap is. you should have put a fifty pence piece alongside it for the benefit of your viewers.

where can I get one of those coffee wielding, camera wearing sculptures from? I especially like the gold leafing on the shirt and the romanesque pose. The wig really sets the whole thing off too. As for stu, when did he grow horns????
